What is the finish like?

Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks
Ensure thorough stirring before application, and apply an even coat, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Using a high-quality brush or roller can also improve the finish. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Poor coverage
Apply a second coat of paint. Make sure the surface is properly primed before painting.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Ensure the surface is primed if necessary. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
Color variation after drying
Ensure consistent application and avoid applying too thin a coat. Two coats are generally recommended for even color distribution.
